SASH-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,712, dated October 6, 1885.

Application filed May 19, 18857 Serial No. 166,042. (ModeL) To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE WASHINGTO NAYLOR, a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Spring Sash-Holders for Horse-Oars,

Stages, and other Vehicles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of one of my improved spring sash'holders and a part of a sash and casing. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the same, taken through the line a: m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of the same, taken through the line 3 3 Fig. 2.

The object of this invention is to provide spring sash-holders to prevent the sashes of horse-cars, stages, and other vehicles from rattling, and which shall be simple in construction and reliable in use, not being liable to break or get out of order.

The invention consists in the peculiar construction of the spring and in its combination with the sash and easing, as will be hereinafter described, and then claimed.

A represents the sash of a vehicle-window. The sash A slides in the grooves in the casing B in the ordinary manner.

0 is the springholder, the outer end of which is bent into U form, and is secured at its corners to the sash A by screws D, passing through holes in the said corners and screwing into the said sash, as shown in Figs. 1

and 2. The side edges of the long arm of the spring-holder O are recessed, as shown in Fig. l, to give convenient.access to the screws D, and to give an ornamental appearance to the said spring-holder. \Vith this construction the spring-holder G will hold the sash from rattling, and will hold it securely in place in any position into which it may be adjusted, and at the same time the U shape of thespring will keep it from breaking, so that the spring holder will be very durable.

I am aware that a sash-holder has heretofore been constructed of rectangular plate hinged or loosely secured at one vertical edge to the window-sash, and having a spiral spring under its central part to press the free edge of the plate outward against the window-bead; also, that an outwardly curved rectangular spring-plate has been secured firmly at one edge to a windowsash with its free edge bearing against the window-bead, and I do not claim such construction as of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A spring sash-holder made, substantially as herein shown and described, with a Ushaped bend in its outer part, with holes in the corners of its short arm to receive fastening-screws, and with recesses in its side edges directly over the screw-holes to give access to the fast eningscrews, as set forth.

GEORGE \V. NAYLOR.
